Inspired by hip hop, neo-soul and blues, Allara takes audiences on a journey encouraging reflections on passion, responsibility and identity.

Robert K Champion
Robert K Champion moves audiences with his haunting guitar and compelling stories of life, love and loss from across the Australian landscape.

A Gubrun, Kokatha and Mirning man, now living and making music in Melbourne, Robert’s original compositions are a combination of country ballads and melodic songs.

Maylene Slater-Burns

As a young Aboriginal woman, Maylene shows courage in her willingness to speak up about issues that are directly affecting her community. Many topics are mentioned in her performances but the main theme is love.

Brett Lee
Brett’s laidback and organic approach to music, paired with the natural and earthy tone of his voice, entices you into the depths of his stories.

His sound comes from lazy days filled with listening to folk and acoustic surf tunes with hints of country hidden between the lines. His writing is honest and personal, set against a sound scape that goes from sunny and toe tapping to a rainy sadness felt by a lonely lover on a Sunday.

Lady Lash
The spiritual insight Lady Lash brings to her music is that of a strong Kokatha/Greek Woman from the West Coast of South Australia. A soulful lyricist, Lady Lash has spent many years hustling her skilful flow for audiences.

Her positive jazz melodies infused with sultry rhymes bring an essence of modern street poetry. Lady Lash has come into her own as a microphone fiend and loves to capture hearts with powerful visions and vocals that push boundaries in profound ways.
